Rice is a staple of our diet here at home and we make it with almost everything. One of my friends, who owns a Mediterranean restaurant here in town, taught me how to make "Kesar Chaval".
Meanwhile, heat a bit of butter over medium heat, add a stick of crushed cinammon and a couple pinches of cloves and stir well. Throw in a handful of chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add rice and stir for about 5 minutes then add boiling water and salt to taste. Secret to it now is adding some saffron which should also be mixed with boiling water. Stir and cook for about 20 minutes. The saffron turns the rice yellow and gives it a really faint zesty taste that is absolutely fucking wonderful.
Enjoy with some kabob skewers if you can make them.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
